Tales from the Molotov Cocktail (inception, contests, editing)…

Why do we pick one story over another? What makes a winning story? How do we decide on an order for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? These are difficult, sometimes complicated questions to answer. I’ve been working on an essay off and on for over a year now that will further address these very concerns. I hope to have it done by January, 2016.
